Hello all! Currently I am merely a drifter to these shores but upon the morrow (my morrow) I will try to make a firmer landing. Til then!

Ahoy!
Hey Ho! Tally Ho! Now just a moment there milady Kath! We don't know who you are and what you are up to, but you just think you can get away with this just stating you're a drifter to these shores and will be willing to take part in this toMorrow? ToMorrow? Why not toDay? Someone will die toDay but it should not be you, right? Well why should we not consider you with your landlubber-excuses which are just as good as nothing? So stop the bilge no one believes in! The tenderfoots should swallow the anchor, I say. Or if they do not realise it themselves we should keelhaul these people - or make them walk the plank - in the first instant! Oh, you freshwater-pirates! You deserve a good flogging! Speak up and do not hide in the masses. You know when someone has broken a rule on board and it gets public... then the captain comes and asks "who of you were the ones culpable?". What is it he faces? A wall of silence... Those who are able to talk themselves out will get the mercy or the second chance but those who just hide behind the backs of their fellows will be punished the most severely. I do hope people here see the decency of the practise on board as we seem to be in a similar situation. A galley can't afford a traitor and neither do we. So anyone not wishing to stand up for her or himself for good or try to help us out in earnest should kiss the gunner's daughter before the sun sets. That's only fair. Handsomely now, men! No quarter!

Now here's someone I can accept hanging round: Nogrod is clearly someone not constrained by the pathetic cosying of 'important' folk. Too eager is he, though, for conflict and bloodshed that he realises not that this debate has only just begun! Most people are probably still stuffing themselves with free eats at the breakfast table.
I can understand this impatience, though: there are four among us who would kill me and I'm ready to kill everyone around me to get at them first. Apologies for the inconvenience.

My my my, what a terrible happening. The Lady's strong opposition to guards, in order to keep secrecy, has cost her her life. I pray we can stop these monsters before anymore of us pass.
This first day will definitely be difficult. Some of us our familiar with each other, but others are complete mysteries. I also know that there is quite a bit of mistrust between some due to past feuds. We should all, however, try to start freshly with one another. We have all be unwittingly thrown into a horrible situation, so we must come together and cooperate in order to survive. Once this mess is all cleaned up, hopefully with as little bloodshed as possible, we can return to pirating, fighting, spell casting and whatnot on each others lands. For now, we get along as best as possible. So how do we decide who to kill first? Pull straws? Russian roullette? RPS? Difficult situation indeed........I should return in an hour or so, I have some spell books that I will look threw, perhaps Tivo and I can put our powers together in some sort of revealing spell.....unless he is evil himself, no way to know I suppose.... X'posted with Nogrod and Eomer....having a difficult time understanding Nogrod's dialect, quite odd indeed....

Anyways you seem optimistic about your own skills to use experience and not be baised, if only I could be as optimistic about any of us. Quote:

All right, well, to state plainly what is on my mind. It seems that some discussion is already starting to roll, which is good. I will be probably going to leave now, but I will be back later (after some rest) and then, there should be, I guess, already a few more people who spoke up by then, so I can start to make a picture: and I may post some of my first impressions in general. Ah yes, actually I am optimistic, really. Well, or at least in a rather optimistic mood, despite the disgusting abovementioned deed that took place here. My mind still feels rather clear and light, possibly because it is after a really long time that I have to rack my brain with situation like this. Well, it would be nice if it stayed even into the further Days. (In case it is positive, of course. I have not yet tested what is its actual practical outcome )

Ahoy!
I'm merely stopping in to say that I am here for a little bit. I will be back later when hopefully more discussions have taken place. I have no real inclinations so far as it is Day one. I'm off to swab the deck and will be back in a while. Gar.

"I'm merely saying I'm here... I'll be back when there has been some discussion". Now who do you think should have made the discussion if people were like you? Some others, right? But not you. So you think you can be a parasite who only watches "some others" to discuss it so that you can vote one of the discussers. Why don't you start the discussion - or take part in it? How about everyone behaved like you? There would be nothing to say. But then it seems that people lynch one of those who have actually tried to make a difference. And that's understandable as if someone just pops in to say that s/he has nothing to say, it's a hard time to come up with a reason to vote that one person from among many who has said nothing - but it is easy to vote for someone who has actually made some points (as you can disagree with points while you can't disagree with "hi there, let's get the baddies"). So why should we think that you - as you have decided to just hang around - should live after Day1 and those who actually play this game and make your "hanging around" possible in the first place (you can't hang around unless there is something to hang around to) should be the ones from whom we decide who to lynch? This needs to change. This really needs to change. EDIT: X'd with Eomer and Rune

Those who are going to get my vote if their status is as it is now in the end of this Day1. No problem if you make your mark later and just haven't been able to post at this point of the Day. It's not time-zone related but a general principle: before the Day ends everyone needs to take part. If not, you're my first choice.
Nienna Isabellkya Nerwen Nilpaurion Felagund Lhunardawen Groin Redbeard satansaloser2005 Eönwë Brinniel Because of the way they have posted I'm a bit worried about (subject to change if / when they post more): Kath Shastanis Althreduin wilwarin538 Rune Son of Bjarne For different reasons I suspect: Kent2010 Eomer of the Rohirrim I'm about to think innocent so far: Legate of Amon Lanc Hopefully you give me reasons to change and upgrade my list before the Day is over. As I said, I will promote lynching the "submarines" first. But if everyone is actually playing, then I will move to the actual suspicions... unless there is a really good case against someone which would overrule any blind vote for the "under the Reindeer" -people. Off to sleep now. See you later toDay.

So: Nogrod's suspicious of those who have posted (apparently because they have posted), and will probably vote for any one of those who have not yet posted (because they've not posted).
Oh, apart from Legate, his fellow loquacious ringleader.

Hey Nogrod, you might as well say nothing at all. Your contribution so far has only offered a little more than those completely silent, you say the same things as you always do on day one. . .since you say the same all the time it is difficult to judge you by it. So basicly what you are doing is hiding in plain sight.
If you keep this up I will have to vote for you today and if you say something completely unpredictable, then it is clearly a change of tactics from a bad guy. . .so either way I will have to vote for you. Notice: The last part was obviously in jest. Anyways I shall leave you shall see you tomorrow (If you insist on using "tomorrow" and "today" in connection with the games night and day face then you should be in game all the time when posting and not speak about "the game", because then we go meta and that is just silly) |

So "dealing" a friendship? Looks like a baddie trying to make alliances with the goodies... The baddies have every reason to be nice with people they think are influential in any given village. And Legate - if innocent - fits that description well enough. Many of us would love to trust someone around. But that doesn't happen on the first hours of Day1 - and suggesting a deal on friendship (or suggesting beginning to deal with it) looks very much like a baddie trying to search for alliances rather than an innocent looking for mates... as that would take place only gradually and later in the game, if even then then, openly, I mean... Quote:
But anyway, we should keep up the pressure for everyone not to post only once or twice with nothing to say but to actually take part. And that needs to be said in the beginning of the Day. We know who has contributed at the end of the Day, but let's pressure people to do it already now by keeping up this mood of everyone requiring others to either speak or face the gallows... I will vote for a "non-participant" toDay - and will call for others to do so as well - unless there is a very good case against someone else. The last game was proof enough... Quote:
